Android is serious lacking is system performance (not just hardware but systems) and won’t even begin to catch on when people actually have to pay for the dismal OS it is. B1GOF works well when you get hook people on a 2 year contract.

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 05:12:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=186635#comment-143257They are getting much cheaper though and additional pressure may be brought once Windows 8 comes out as many will likely create dual boot systems to maximize market potential.

Additionally, Apple doesn’t hold the lead in system specs and combined with lower pricing does mean mounting reasons to consider a Android versus a iOS device.

While both Android and iOS are improving and also reducing the differences as they both adopt the best features from the other.

The upcoming ICS Android update hopes to radically reduce software fragmentation that has been holding android back as well and if it does improve the overall experience then that can mean trouble for iOS.

So, considering all those factors, I’d give Apple 1-2 more years to hold market dominance before the competition starts taking the lead.

When I’m using the browser on my HTC… I’m.using dolphin with the user agent spoofed to desktop mode..

I have no idea how they collect this data, but if It’s with user agent data.. It’s sketchy info at best…

I have a browser on ios that can spoof every browser ever made.. ie6 anyone?

That is IF you do expect people from outside the US to visit Slashgear..
